Key ingredients
Crispy pork rinds, tomatillos, serrano peppers, white onion, garlic, shredded cooked chicken, chicken broth, avocado, sour cream (or crema mexicana), crumbled queso fresco, fresh cilantro, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Utilize pork rinds instead of tortilla chips. Confirm no added sugar or flour/starch thickeners in the green salsa. Served without rice, beans, or high-carb side dishes.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in salsa, starches in broth or as thickeners, excessive use of tomatillos or other vegetables, cross-contamination if fried with high-carb items.
